Thought Adjuster: “Among all the areas of human [[knowledge]] and with a plethora of [[problems]] to be solved, each one more [[complex]] and far reaching, where should you [[focus]] your efforts? It is in the improvement of human beings where any investment of [[time]] and resources will yield great dividends for the [[future]] of civilization in [[Urantia]].

“Many professions and disciplines require an educated and trained [[population]] to be productive. [[Science]], [[art]], and [[philosophy]] are the pillars of civilization and the main sources of material [[progress]]. However, you should not forget that these disciplines and all the [[creative]] efforts that have been expressed in this world have been made possible by men and women. Therefore, it stands to reason that it is there – in [[human beings]] – where the greatest improvements should be made.

“How is [[society]] benefited from having the most advanced [[government]] system if the ethics of the people in government is subpar? The democracy enjoyed by many of the most powerful nations has contributed little to promote improvements to civilization and sometimes in the democratic countries their own laws are broken while the governments [[conspire]] to deceive those they are supposed to represent. What [[good]] is science if the scientists offer their discoveries for the material benefit of a few or to create better ways to kill their peers? There is nothing wrong with [[politics]], [[science]], or any other discipline of human endeavor, but it is evident that the [[quality]] of the politician or the scientist will determine the outcome of the achievements and advances that can be made.

“You have to rise the [[moral]] level of the men and women of this world. Each one of you should endeavor first to be the best you can [[aspire]] to be – the most [[beautiful]] [[expression]] of your [[being]] – while you dedicate yourselves to the many professions in this world. This can only be achieved by a true [[religion]], but not a religion of fossilized truths and senseless [[ritual]]. The religion that will bring Urantia to the age of [[light and life]] will deposit the weight of [[salvation]] upon the shoulders of each [[individual]]. An authentic religion will recognize the unconditional [[love of God]], the paternity of God for all the inhabitants of this world, and the equality of each person before the [[Universal Father]].

“The time when [[priests]] and other representatives had to serve as intermediaries between the people and God should be replaced by a new era where each person will enjoy a personal [[relationship]] of [[friendship]] and [[affection]] with God. Then each person will be guided by the divine presence of God in their being – the [[Thought Adjuster]] – to become capable of manifesting the best of their [[personalities]] in everything they do. Only this way this world will progress towards a higher society that will produce permanent and constant improvements for the following [[generations]]. The human methods and systems will become goals of divine [[glory]] when men and women illuminated by [[spirit]] are put in charge of the [[destiny]] of this world. This is the goal for this planet and it will happen when each person is searching for the light in their hearts and establish the age of [[light and life]] in their own personal life.”
